| Comment | If the air quality continues to decline, I am afraid I will be
forced to move out of the Central Valley. Unfortunately, so will
many of the privileged population - leaving only those who cannot
afford to relocate to better circumstances.
The World Health Organization estimates that air pollutions kills
656,000 people in China and 527,700 people in India each year. In
many parts of these countries citizens wear masks to protect
themselves.
Here in the Central Valley California, we have visibly SEEN our
air quality decline over the past 40 years. We cannot wait any
longer to take strong action to protect ourselves from both the
visible and invisible dangers of air pollution.
On behalf of future citizens of California who cannot speak up:
Please pass a strong diesel truck rule!
